Authors and small trad publishers are the biggest believers in DRM and the ones with the best antitrust case if Amazon forces them to ditch DRM. DRM is a feature of the product and as such the producer dictates its use.
They really *can't* force anybody to drop DRM any more that they can force TTS support. And TTS adds value to the *platform* as well as the book.
Not. Doable.
Really.
Trying would open a legal can of worms and since the vast majority of buyers don't care, there is no need.
